I have a Cambridge LNAV and I want to replace my LX400, which is
currently being used purely as a GPS receiver, with something else to
provide a GPS feed to the LNAV, preferably without taking up a space on
my instrument panel.


Any suggestions?

You need to give us a little more information:

- *Does the GPS need to provide logging capability (or do you have
another logger).
- *Assuming you do need a logger, does it need to be an IGC-approved
type?
- *If it is IGC-approved, for what level do you need it (i.e. basic
badges, record flying, etc.)

A simple solution is to find a used CAI model 20 or 25 which can be
mounted remote from the panel and is designed to integrate with the
LNAV. *However, this is NOT approved for all badges. *You could buy a
302A if full approval is required.


Ooops. The comment on the Model 20/25 should be that they are NOT
approved for all flights (e.g. World Records). They are approved for
all badges.
